I will be selling a few select drinks (Manhattans etc) out of the nearest men's room closest to the bar for one half of hotel drink price.

Talked to Fred a couple times this past week and he is going to give a talk on the genesis of the Ford GT program. He thought it would be interesting to give some details of what happened when the program really first started and there were very few people involved. Should be good!

Very cool. Looking forward to it. :thumbsup

I have a question about parking at the Rally. I plan on returning home for my Son's football game Friday night and Flying back Sarturday morning. Will we have a designated parking area and/or security for the event?

Yes, parking with security is provided. When DBK sets these up, he does a wonderful job. Separate parking for GT's only in the hotel garage, etc.

TRACK INFORMATION:

I talked today with the safety coordinator at LVMS and here is what you need to know: If you plan on running your car on the track at LVMS, you need to wear long pants and closed toe shoes. They WILL have helmets available to borrow at the track which I will be renting for us, but if you've got your own and can spare the space, you might as well bring it. The variety they have at LVMS are the NASCAR open-face kind you see the crews wearing.

Carroll Shelby called me today and we talked for a few and, as always, he sends his ragards to the GT owners group :thumbsup

Great! I'll dollar-cost-average my $8 WalMart jeans from saac33.

Will we need car ID numbers for track time?

We are a very lucky group to be invited by Carroll.
Thanks for all your hard work Dave.

You're now down to $4 per use!

No ID numbers necessary. We're going to have a TON of cars so there will likely be long waits in between runs. Given the Las Vegas heat and the size of the track, quick runs on the track will probably be a good thing anyways. Safety first for the track; the biggest way to put a huge damper on an event is for someone to whack their car into something!

Dinner on Saturday begins with a 5pm-6pm cocktail hour. Dinner "officially" begins at 6pm and will run until 9pm or whenever everyone leaves. There is an open premium bar on Saturday evening and SAI is approximately 17 miles from the hotel. Please adjust your transportation plans accordingly!

And no peeing in the bushes!

I seem to recall some time ago a post querying about required attire for LVMS track day. Is a helmet required? If I missed the the answer, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
